A review by joanav
Highland Crown by May McGoldrick
2.0
I received an eARC at no cost from the author, in exchange for an honest and voluntary review. Thank you.
Review will be posted at Romancing Romances on the publication day.
2.25*
This was the first book I’ve read of May McGoldrick (whom is actually two people) and, sadly, it just wasn’t it for me.
I really wanted to like the characters, but I found myself annoyed by Isabella, and a bit confused by Cinaed.
The book has a great premise, and the story is interesting – I love stories that have not only the romance, but something that ties everything together, and this book had that, even if it is sometimes confusing.
I really wanted to like Isabella, but she just didn’t rise to the expectations. She was a physician, and that was the most interesting part about her.
I liked Cinaed, but sometimes he was a bit confusing – completely trusting, and then suspicious, but always ready to protect Isabella… It seemed a bit forced.
Also, I’m not a fan of insta-love. And even though this was more of an insta-attraction for Isabella, it felt like insta-love to Cinaed.
There was a lot going around and sometimes it became confusing and the actions of the characters didn’t seem completely faithful to whom they were.
Sadly, I just didn’t connect with the book. It was the first book I read in 2019, and it took me a whole month to read it. Not the best introduction to this author.
